A Low-Cost Method of Airspeed Data Acquisition via Image Processing and Experimental Aerodymanic Load Calculation Using Panel Methods
… primary structures that exhibit a time-dependent load memory. A project was undertaken to develop a service-life prediction method to better understand composite use in this market segment. Most general-aviation aircraft do not possess flight data acquisition systems to gather in-service …

Suspended sediment and total phosphorus loadings from small agricultural watersheds in western Illinois
… of the mean daily concentration for load calculation purposes. This assumption, however, is not appropriate on streams where concentrations can change substantially within a day. In five small, rural watersheds in western Illinois, the collection and analysis of data during runoff …

Modeling the Effects of Drugs of Abuse on HIV Infections with Two Viral Species
… infected with HIV suffer from a higher viral load and rapid pathogenesis. Replication of HIV may result in a large number of mutant viruses that can escape recognition of the hosts immune response. Experimental results have shown that the presence of morphine can decrease the viral mutation …

Residential building energy analysis : development and uncertainty assessment of a simplified model
… in C/C++ to calculate annual heat and cooling loads for residential buildings and to provide information about the relative importance of load contributions from the different building components. Estimates were made regarding the uncertainties of parameter inputs to the model, such as material …

An Assessment of Surface Ice Sheet Loads and Their Effects on an Offshore Wind Turbine Structure
… on an offshore wind turbine. First, the main ice load cases are presented, and methods used to calculate the loads from each of these cases are explained. These load cases consist of loads from moving ice sheets, loads from non-moving ice sheets, and loads from agglomerated masses of ice, called …

Structural fatigue assessment and optimisation of offshore wind turbine jacket foundations.
… into a super element model. The time-series loads obtained from Bladed are used to assess fatigue damages experienced during the foundation's service life. Furthermore, the research presents a topology optimisation method to retrofit an existing jacket foundation design by finding the optimum …

Development of a time-synchronised multi-input computer vision system for structural monitioring utilising deep learning for vehicle identification
… of bridge displacement from applied vehicle load, the primary focus of existing research has been on single camera studies to monitor one point on the bridge without a means of identifying the cause of the measured displacement. The work presented in this thesis details the development of an …

Nonlinear Fluid-Structure Interaction in a Flexible Shelter under Blast Loading
… been employed in various fields of industry. Loading conditions sustained by these flexible structures are often not described well enough for engineering analyses even though these conditions are important. Here, a flexible tent with an interior Collective Protection System, which is …

Development and Evaluation of Infilling Methods for Missing Hydrologic and Chemical Watershed Monitoring Data
… of the data in hydrologic or water quality calculations. This study utilizes data from a watershed monitoring program operating in the Northern Virginia area to: (1) identify and summarize the major reasons for the occurrence of missing data; (2) provide recommendations for reducing the …
